Mashed potatoes are one of our favourite , but I avoid them because of butter . When Valli announced Mashed as our theme for BM, I thought this is my chance to enjoy them and picked the theme . This post is also a part of the annual event at Bakeathon .
This time I wanted a variation in the mashed potatoes , so I added some cheese and milk . The milk should just make the potatoes very soft , runny to be precise . After baking these they taste stunning . A bit of fresh broccoli adds to the color and nutrition to the dish .
Baked Mashed Potatoes with Broccoli is a simple and quick dish to prepare , but if the potatoes are not freshly boiled it’s taste is not as good. with freshly boiled potatoes, the dish tastes absolutely amazing. in fact I try to boil fresh potatoes for practically all dishes with boiled potatoes, but at times I use these from frig also, I just refresh them by immersing them in boiling water for 10-12 minutes.Make sure you cover the pot while the potatoes are resting in the hot water.
Here are some of the simple potato recipes you could try.
